Our biggest release so far. A lot of changes, most notably a GUI in addition to CLI version. The file format of 0.5 is incompatible with earlier versions due to various changes made to it. Due to the sheer number of changes we except there to be bugs that should be ironed out in upcoming releases. Please report any issues encountered, so that we can fix them.
